Happy 1st Birthday Livee

Here is a little poem Daddy wrote for Livee

A Thousand Silent Smiles
Through the first year of your life I have been so blessed by you
Every time I see you, you bring a smile to my face
Time and time again I smile at you
Over the past year I have thrown

thousands of silent smiles your way
The few you do catch, you throw them back to me
Of course this makes me smile even more
If I can tell you anything that would help you in life
It would be that life is all about smiles

We can't believe Livee is already 1. Where did the time go? She has been such a fun blessing to our family. She has completed our family. The kids just love her and shower her with lots of hugs and kisses. She is so full of life.
She definitely knows how to hold her own.
*She is getting quite bossy and when she sees something she wants she has this ear piercing squawk she does.
*She has the walking thing down now.
*Some words she can say: Mom, Daddy, No No, SSSHHH, tries to bark like a dog with uffff, she'll try to sing if anyone else is singing, she meows with a hi pitch voice.
*She has a favorite baby that she loves. It is pretty small, and she hugs it and kisses it and shsh's it, and brings it to mom and dad to love.
*She is eating everything and loves to eat. She loves cottage cheese & yogurt mixed together with bananas.
*She has 7 teeth.
*She went straight from nursing to sippy so she never had a bottle. My one and only child that did that.
*She only weighs about 16 1/2 lbs.
*Hates to get dressed or her diaper changed
*Loves to wrestle her daddy.
*She is upset if mom is in the house and Livee is more than 10 ft away from her.
*Loves taking a bath, especially when mommy is in there. She knows how to stand at the edge of the tub and bat her beautiful eyes at mommy.
*She is sleeping through the night for most nights. That started happening a couple weeks ago when I cut off the night feedings.

We love you Livee and Have a Happy Birthday.
